This indicator tracks the annual change in the inflation-adjusted value of output produced by the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is often considered a leading indicator of the broader economy due to its sensitivity to consumer demand and interest rates. A steady increase in production suggests industrial growth and healthy business investment.
The YoY percentage is calculated by comparing the total manufacturing output of the current month to the output of the same month in the previous year, using volume indices.
